Planting More Squash Seedlings. 5.15.22

 I planted more squash seedlings in their final locations.

This is a Galeux d'Eysines.  The roots quickly start winding around.  Squash seedlings roots are delicate, so you want to get them planted ASAP.


Fortunately they are very early in their winding around, so it just took slight untangling to point the roots outward.


Now planted outside:  All three Galeux, both Costata Romanesca, and one Fordhook zucchini.  Here is a Costata:


I will need to set up deer protection for the ones outside the fenced garden.

I also gave away a zucchini plant "Sure Thing", a summer squash plant "Saffron", and two Red Kuri squash seedlings.  Now remaining for me to plant are three seedlings of Burgess Buttercup, three of Uncle Dave's Dakota Dessert Squash, one Saffron summer squash, and two or three Honeynut.  Not sure where I'll plant them, but if Honeynut has small squashes, it might be a candidate for a trellis.
